Victorian Ethical Optics
Natalie Prizel's book asks readers (and lookers) to lift the scales from our eyes and replace them with another sort of scale, so to speak -an ethical, nonjudgmental gaze, slow to label and categorize.We can learn to look thus, Prizel contends, by returning to nineteenth-century cases where the ethics of regard was repeatedly tested in relation to the "aberrant bodies" of her subtitle: the disabled and queer.Theoretically adventurous and sumptuou…
Racism without ‘race’
Germany does not officially use or recognize racial categories. Despite this absence, everyday racism is a common experience for Black Germans and others viewed as non-European. Drawing on interviews with Black Germans, this article reveals the multiple ways in which Black Germans are racialized in everyday life. The most common form is 'foreignization' or the presumption that Black Germans are immigrants. This particular form of racialization ca…
Crystal Forms
This essay uses the snow-crystal studies of the meteorologist James Glaisher and his wife, the illustrator-photographer Cecilia Glaisher, as a case study to describe a nineteenth-century aesthetics of accident, to assess its limits, and to draw wider lessons for the history of scientific and artistic representation. The argument is in two parts. The first examines the Glaishers’ accounts and images of snow-crystal morphology across a range of pri…
Introduction
A Mr Childers bought the tree against which Wellington stood at Waterloo, & has cut it up for timber to make presents of. He gave the Duke of Rutland enough for a chair. This is exclusively an illustration of the English disease. They can’t let a thing remain for all to enjoy. They have no poetry, no national feeling; they must have it to themselves, they must cut it up for their fire sides, & shew it to their Christmas parties. Oh England, never…
Acoustic Similarity Predicts Vowel Phoneme Detection in an Unfamiliar Regional Accent
When encountering an unfamiliar accent, a hypothesized perceptual challenge is associating its phonetic realizations with the intended phonemic categories. Greater accumulated exposure to the language might afford richer representations of phonetic variants, thereby increasing the chance of detecting unfamiliar accent speakers' intended phonemes. The present study examined the extent to which the detection of vowel phonemes spoken in an unfamilia…
Bad beliefs
Neil Levy argues that the importance of acquiring cultural knowledge in our evolutionary past selected for conformist and deferential social learning, and that contemporary bad beliefs – roughly, popular beliefs at odds with expert consensus – result primarily from the rational deployment of such conformity and deference in epistemically polluted modern environments. I raise several objections to this perspective. First, against the cultural evol…

Process adaptations to community-engaged research for preventing victimization against trans women
Effective violence prevention interventions are largely inaccessible to trans women and trans femmes, despite clear evidence that disproportionate exposure to experiences of victimization is a social determinant of health disparity. Community-engaged implementation science paradigms hold promise for guiding research psychologists in the delivery of evidence-based programming to address drivers of health disparities impacting trans women and trans…

Turning Over a New Leaf
In eastern North America, Indigenous peoples domesticated several crops that are now extinct. We present experimental data that alters our understanding of the domestication of one of these-goosefoot (Chenopodium berlandieri). Ancient domesticated goosefoot has been recognized on the basis of seed morphology, especially a decrease in the thickness of the seed coat (testa). Nondomesticated goosefoot also sometimes produces seeds that look similar …
Evaluation of Community-Based, Mobile HIV-Care, Peer-Delivered Linkage Case Management in Manzini Region, Eswatini
The success of antiretroviral therapy (ART) requires continuous engagement in care and optimal levels of adherence to achieve sustained HIV viral suppression. We evaluated HIV-care cascade costs and outcomes of a community-based, mobile HIV-care, peer-delivered linkage case-management program (CommLink) implemented in Manzini region, Eswatini. Abstraction teams visited referral facilities during July 2019-April 2020 to locate, match, and abstract…
Epistemic Irrationality in the Bayesian Brain
A large body of research in cognitive psychology and neuroscience draws on Bayesian statistics to model information processing within the brain. Many theorists have noted that this research seems to be in tension with a large body of experimental results purportedly documenting systematic deviations from Bayesian updating in human belief formation. In response, proponents of the Bayesian brain hypothesis contend that Bayesian models can accommoda…
The Role of Acoustic Similarity and Non-Native Categorisation in Predicting Non-Native Discrimination
This study tests whether Australian English (AusE) and European Spanish (ES) listeners differ in their categorisation and discrimination of Brazilian Portuguese (BP) vowels. In particular, we investigate two theoretically relevant measures of vowel category overlap (acoustic vs. perceptual categorisation) as predictors of non-native discrimination difficulty. We also investigate whether the individual listener's own native vowel productions predi…
Overcoming Barriers to HIV Care
Down the Slant towards the Eye
This essay reads Gerard Manley Hopkins's poetry for its “ecological perception”: a perceptual modality involving the dynamic interaction between human bodies and environmental givens or potentialities. Linking Hopkins's syncretic ideas about perception to the psychologist J. J. Gibson's account of our sensitivity to environmental “affordances,” the essay assesses three scales of ecological perception in Hopkins (arboreal, atmospheric, apocalyptic…
Local governments’ responses to the fiscal stress label
Fiscal stress has been a source of significant concern for local governments and has led to the introduction of a variety of approaches for dealing with such a situation. One emerging practise is to adopt early-warning systems which identify fiscal stress, assign a fiscal stress label, and assist with local governments' financial management. Although there is a growing body of research focusing on fiscal stress indicators, there is a lack of stud…
Cidadania, cultura e as massas
Este artigo discute a centralidade do conceito de massa para o pensamento de Raymond Williams e uma tradição de intelectuais preocupados com essa problemática, bem como a importância de discutir "as massas" como consequência e crise da contemporaneidade. O balanço teórico apresentado traz registros inéditos relacionando Raymond Williams, Hannah Arendt e outros autores, além de apresentar a ênfase que Williams deu ao debate sobre as manifestações …
Education setting-based health promotion in New Zealand
Wellbeing and vitality in education (WAVE) is an education setting based health promotion initiative in South Canterbury, New Zealand. A mixed method approach was used for assessing change over time. Over ninety percent of education settings (94%) were participating in WAVE (n = 95). A total of 73 education settings completed the questionnaire at both baseline and follow-up. Evaluation of the WAVE programme shows that a robust partnership between…

Suspect Outsiders or Prospective Citizens? Constructing the Immigrant/German Boundary in Germany's Integration Courses
Most scholarship on integration and assimilation in Europe has examined laws, policies and quantitative data to understand the integration of immigrants. Fewer studies have looked at the meaning of integration for immigrants and host societies. This article helps to fill this gap in scholarship by examining the construction of immigrants and Germany in mandatory integration courses in contemporary Germany. Using ethnographic observations of integ…
Coetzee's stones
Bringing together theoretical writing on objects, testimony, and trauma to develop the category of the "nonhuman witness," this essay considers the narrative, ethical, and ecological work performed by peripheral objects in J. M. Coetzee's Dusklands (1974). Coetzee's insistent object catalogues acquire narrative agency and provide material for a counter-narrative parody of first-personal reports of violence in Dusklands. Such collections of nonhum…
Disentangling the effects of long-term language contact and individual bilingualism
Aims and objectives: This study investigates the effects of individual bilingualism and long-term language contact on monophthongal vowel productions in English and Welsh. Design: To this end, we recorded the Welsh and English vowel productions of two sets of Welsh-English bilinguals differing in home language use, as well as the English vowel productions of English monolinguals. Data and analysis: The data were analysed acoustically, with a focu…
The determinants of success in local earmarking
This paper examines the determinants of success in seeking local government earmarked funding. We compile data of the aggregate amounts of the New York City Council discretionary expense grants received or requested by each council district every year during 2011-2013. The statistical results show that the allocation of the expense grants are politically motivated with more earmark funds flowing to the districts council leaders and key committee …
Victorian Ecocriticism for the Anthropocene
How might literary and cultural spheres intersect with the Anthropocene, the epoch — however defined — of humanity's detectable influence at geological scale? What forms, genres, objects, and methodological lenses might prove most fertile in mediating between the concept's abstraction and its concrete entailments for literary and cultural history? Such questions have already commissioned a range of critical projects that attempt to reframe the An…
Ecological form
Hensley and Steer look to join the conceptual tools of contemporary ecocriticism with the rich archive of nineteenth century thinking about imperial and ecological intertwinement. This collection of essays draws on that archive to demonstrate the relevance of Victorian thought for current theory and practice. Ecological Form argues that ecology, the empire, and literary thinking were inseparable during the Victorian period; and its claim that con…
Measuring Government in the Early Twentieth Century
This article discusses the early history of performance and productivity measurement. It finds sophisticated development of these tools beginning in the first decade of the twentieth century, primarily at the New York Bureau of Municipal Research. These practices grew out of accounting, the social survey, work records, and municipal statistics. The bureau built government's capacity to measure. They advocated such basic empirical practices as mak…
The Democratic Sex
Few have studied differences between how women and men lead, particularly at the local level. This article addresses this gap by reporting the results of a unique study of 192 female mayors and 192 male mayors in cities with populations of over 30,000 to consider whether the female mayors emphasized different policy issues and whether the women in local leadership created alternative decision-making processes in allocating resources. Overall, the…
Reinventing the Proverbs of Government
The field of public administration has a long history of popular reform movements. Many of these reforms have failed to deliver the improvements promised. The current “reinventing government” reforms, which follow largely from the writings of David Osborne and his coauthors, claim to establish a new governmental paradigm based on liberating employees and citizens to do their best and using new management methods to get the most out of what govern…
Imagining Extinction
Ursula K. Heise's absorbing and eclectic book distinguishes itself from writing about extinction's historical emergence and contemporary urgency. On the cusp of the sixth mass extinction in Earth's history, Imagining Extinction instead presents us with a metanarrative about the various modes, genres, and rhetorics of cultural engagement with biodiversity and species endangerment. Using an array of literary texts, aesthetic artifacts, and discursi…
Evolution of Performance Measurement Until 1930
Performance measurement originated at the early Bureau of Municipal Research. Over the next quarter century, it became more sophisticated through increased quantification and reliance on experts. However, its focus narrowed from government to government service. This narrowing is linked to reduced social activism among those who used thesemethods. The entire period saw combined interest in accomplishing results and containing costs. Leading advoc…

Before Performance Measurement
This paper examines the conditions preceding and concurrent with the origin of performance measurement in the early 1900s. It links performance measurement to political reform and reassertion of executive governance. The nineteenth century saw significant advances in empiricism, the development of statistics and the differentiation of the social sciences, all of which contributed to a suitable environment for the innovation of performance measure…

How Political Support Influences Red Tape through Developmental Culture
This study examines the interrelationship between external political support, internal organizational factors, and red tape, using a sample of information managers from state health and human service agencies. The study defines a red tape model and tests the model by structural equation modeling method. The study finds that political support has a direct effect on red tape. The higher the political support, the lower the level of red tape. The st…
Déjà Vu All Over Again
For a brief period in the 1910s, the municipal budget exhibit was viewed by good-government reformers at the trailblazing New York Bureau of Municipal Research as a key outlet for cleaning up corrupt local governments and educating the masses to play their proper role in the new administrative state. For a time, the budget exhibit spread to other cities adopting municipal research bureaus. However, the municipal budget exhibit quickly fell out of…

F2 slope as a Perceptual Cue for the Front–Back Contrast in Standard Southern British English
Acoustic studies of several languages indicate that second-formant (F2) slopes in high vowels have opposing directions (independent of consonantal context): front [iː]-like vowels are produced with a rising F2 slope, whereas back [uː]-like vowels are produced with a falling F2 slope. The present study first reports acoustic measurements that confirm this pattern for the English variety of Standard Southern British English (SSBE), where /uː/ has s…

Germanness or Rights? Second Generation Young Adults and Citizenship in Contemporary Germany
Scholarship on citizenship-in its definition as nationality or formal membership in the state-has been both the basis for evaluating and comparing national citizenships as "ethnocultural" or "civic," and used to imply the meaning of citizenship to prospective citizens, particularly immigrants and non-citizen residents. Doing so ignores a perspective on citizenship "from below," and oversimplifies the multiplicity of meanings that individuals may …

God's Own Party
This book traces the history of the Christian Right from its early twentieth-century origins to its involvement in the presidential election of 2008. The book argues that evangelicals’ success in transforming American politics was primarily a result of their ability to link their political agenda to the Republican Party. Evangelicals who believed in reclaiming America as a Christian nation began developing an alliance with the Republican Party du…

The Partisan Trajectory of the American Pro-Life Movement
This article employs a historical analysis of the religious composition of the pro-life movement to explain why the partisan identity of the movement shifted from the left to the right between the late 1960s and the 1980s. Many of the Catholics who formed the first anti-abortion organizations in the late 1960s were liberal Democrats who viewed their campaign to save the unborn as a rights-based movement that was fully in keeping with the principl…

Local government revenue forecasting methods
This study examines forecast accuracy associated with the forecast of 55 revenue data series of 18 local governments. The last 18 months (6 quarters; or 2 years) of the data are held-out for accuracy evaluation. Results show that forecast software, damped trend methods, and simple exponential smoothing methods perform best with monthly and quarterly data; and use of monthly or quarterly data is marginally better than annualized data. For monthly …
